There’s a new semi-professional sports team dribbling its way through the Scenic City. Let us introduce you to Chattanooga Strike, the latest team to join 170 others in the American Basketball Association (ABA).
Founded by Mayoral Policy Advisor for the city Seth Davis, this team is comprised of 13 athletes that come from the Greater Chattanooga area + Northwest Georgia. While they might be new to the ABA, with the help of Head Coach Melvin Williams, they broke into the national rankings after opening weekend at the end of October.
Now, the team’s current stats sit at a national ranking of No. 23, after defeating the No. 12 team (and have a 3-1 win-loss record).
You can cheer on the Chattanooga Strike from its home court, Midtown Arena, at nine more home games through the season (which concludes in February). Tickets start at $12.
Bonus: Chattanooga rapper Coogi Doogi is the performing artist for halftime shows.
